The Happiness Of Tragedy

Chapter 50

I'm trying my best not to freakout as Officer Collins walks me to his car. I don't say bye or anything to anyone as we walked through the building. They took Levi and put him in another police when we got outside. I looked over at the car, my heart was beating out of my chest.

What could he have possibly done so wrong?

"Ms. Anderson?" Collins said through my thoughts. He was holding the door open for me to climb in but I was too busy looking at the car my boyfriend was in. I just wanted to know what he did.

I climbed into the car and put my seatbelt on as David shut the door. He walked around the car and climbed in the driver seat. The other police car pulled away, heading straight for the police station. I can't do this, I can't watch them take him the station. I ran a hand through my hair.

Collins started the car and drove behind the other. I wondered how long the ride to the station would be. I neded to know what happened and I needed to now.

The car ride was silent until I spoke, "can you tell me what happened?"

He looked over at me then back at the rode.

He clears his throat, "he told me not to tell you-"

"Please" I beg.

He nods, "I'm sure Levi told you the day he went to the bar, correct?"

"Yeah but...that was long ago, what happened?"

"He was with his friends and they went to the bar. They were drinking and they were just doing what guys do at first"

He paused and I waited for him to continue.

"When it was time for them to leave, they must've all been drunk and they ran into a girl outside of the bar. She had a guy with her but he must not have been with her at the time. They started-" he looked at me.

I swallow down the vomit that wants to make it's way up. I know it's bad, I can feel it. My skin begins to crawl.

"They started touching her and groping her against her will and she was screaming for the guy who must've been her husband. He came over to help her but they had a knife and stabbed him in the stomach"

"Oh my god" I didn't even know I had a voice at the moment. The tears filled my eyes and one slipped down my cheek. I was shaking now, my heart stopped.

"I'm sorry Katerina" he tells me and I put my head in my hands and cry. Why am I crying? Why does this hurt so much? As if that girl was...me. That was me. Back in high school, Levi knew this. Why would he be apart of such a terrible thing? Why would he do this?

"D-Did the girl- was she raped?" I asked him. I sniffed as more tears fell down my cheeks.

"No, luckily the police came. Him and his friends ran and left the guy and the girl there"  he finished. I looked up and we had arrived at the station. They pulled Levi out of the car and rushed him into the building.

"I can't believe this" I say. I wipe the tears away, I'm not even sad. No, I'm not sad anymore. It should hurt like hell what they did. What they did to them both but it doesn't. It makes me mad.

"I'm sorry, I should've told you but he told me he was going to himself"

"So he knew this entire time, both of you did and I was at school walking around like an idiot and you guys knew what happened?" I looked at Collins and he looked worried.

"I'm really sorry Ms. Anderson, he-"

"You brought him home that night, didn't you?" I fold my arms, my voice is shaking with anger.
